SelectSet Series:

These are drum machines, where the media doesn’t move while imaging. This method of operation ensures the best possible accuracy, repeatability, and registration. It also minimizes dot gain in the imagesetter - SelectSet machines typically produce very close to the desired dot percentage without an add on calibration program. The downside of the drum design is limiting the page length to the diameter of the drum. These machines image at 1200, 2400, & 3600 dpi, and easily reproduce halftone at 250 lpi and above.
